Humanity’s Great Sage

Changyun Island wasn't too far from their current location, only about half a day's journey.

They flew along, unable to shake off the pursuers.

Along the way, they occasionally encountered powerful enemies, and both Lu Ye and Xia He had to avoid them and take detours, which led to an increasing number of pursuers behind them.

Until a blood-red sky came into view, Xia He looked desperate: "There's no chance!"

Changyun Island was already surrounded, the entire island encircled by a massive river of blood. All that could be seen was endless crimson.

"There is a chance!" Lu Ye's eyes lit up.

If Changyun Island was being besieged normally, it wouldn't be easy for him and Xia He to break through, but as it seemed, the main force besieging Changyun Island appeared to be the Blood Clan!

The blood river surrounding the entire island was the most obvious sign.

Xia He smiled bitterly. Where else could they go? There were many pursuers behind them, and even if they could shake them off, there was no safe place to stay on this Sea of Dragon Cage.

It could be said that since their previous hiding place was discovered, they were already in a situation of near-certain death.

"Then let's take a gamble!" Xia He gritted her teeth. Although she knew the hope was slim, there was no other choice at this point.

After a brief exchange, the panic and despair in Xia He's heart faded, and her expression became firm.

As they got closer and closer to the blood river, the enemies inside seemed to notice their arrival, and streams of blood arts swept out from within.

Lu Ye charged ahead, wielding the Panshan Blade to break through the attacks of the various blood arts, leading Xia He into the boundless crimson.

"Follow me!" he secretly transmitted to Xia He, while activating a blood art, instantly enveloping himself and Xia He in a layer of blood light, concealing their figures.

In the next moment, many auras approached, and divine senses swept over them.

Xia He's body tensed, and she gripped the Daoist soldier longsword in her hand, mentally preparing for a desperate fight. However, to her surprise, the divine senses that probed over seemed to ignore her and Lu Ye's existence, and didn't seem to intend to attack them, instead wandering aimlessly around.

She even clearly felt several auras passing close by them, but quickly moving away.

"Where are they? Those two humans clearly broke in from here just now, why are they nowhere to be seen?"

"They must have hidden. Quickly find them."

"Impudent, they simply don't take us seriously."

"Blood Clan friends, where are you? Enemies have entered this blood river, why can't they be identified?"

Voices rang out from all directions, and then Xia He was shocked to hear Lu Ye say, "Those two have fled in that direction. Please pursue them quickly!"

Xia He was still shocked by Lu Ye's audacity, but she sensed that the surrounding cultivators actually chased after the direction Lu Ye pointed out.

She was even more shocked!

Lu Ye activated the blood art, she sensed it clearly, after all, the blood art also enveloped her, isolating her aura.

But this level of means shouldn't have such a great deception.

The fact that the enemies were being misled undoubtedly meant that in their minds, they regarded Lu Ye as a true member of the Blood Clan.

But could this really be done? The Blood Clan had ways to distinguish whether someone was a member of their clan or not, and their special sacred nature couldn't be faked with mere blood arts.

Just as she was racking her brains, Lu Ye had already tugged her and flew towards the depths of the blood river.

Along the way, the blood river was full of surging figures, but they went all the way without any obstacles.

Xia He's heart pounded violently in her chest, she only felt that what she had seen today was simply incomprehensible.

A moment later, the view cleared, and the two had rushed out of the blood river's encirclement, arriving at the edge of Changyun Island.

However, there was a layer of solid light barrier blocking the way. This was obviously the defensive formation of Changyun Island. Changyun Island was a large island, a place where many humans gathered to live. In order to cope with this encirclement and suppression, the island's great formation had been accumulating power for a hundred years. The light curtain looked extremely solid and stable.

This was also the reason why many enemies were besieging but not attacking. They were still accumulating power, and the Blood Clan's blood river technique also had a strong corrosive effect. While accumulating power, they used the blood river technique to corrode the defensive formation, trying to consume the power of this great formation as much as possible, so that when they really launched an offensive, they could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

But now this great formation had become a barrier blocking Lu Ye and Xia He's path forward.

Across the great formation, Lu Ye saw at a glance the figures of many cultivators stationed nearby. It was a formation group, and many humans were nervously waiting in formation, preparing for a great battle.

Lu Ye's gaze turned and he fixed his eyes on a middle-aged man who looked extraordinary. The man also noticed something and turned to look at him.

After seeing Lu Ye and Xia He's faces clearly, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Lu Ye cupped his fists: "Greetings, fellow Daoist. We two fled here from outside, wanting to enter the island for refuge. Please accommodate us."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man shook his head without thinking: "At this time of crisis, this island can only go out, not in."

Lu Ye frowned slightly. The thing he was most worried about still happened.

He had previously realized that even if he and Xia He came here, they shouldn't be able to enter the island at will, because letting them into the island was risky. Not to mention that the people inside couldn't be sure whether they were traitors, inducing them to open a gap in the formation, even if they were really fleeing here, opening a gap in the formation to let them into the island was also extremely dangerous.

Once the gap in the formation was opened, it wouldn't be easy to close it again. If they encountered a strong enemy attack during this time, it would be easy to tear apart the defense line.

This middle-aged man was responsible for guarding this section of the defense line. Any decision concerned the survival of millions of people on Changyun Island, so he naturally didn't dare to take such a risk.

"Is that Daoist Chu Li?" Xia He suddenly called out beside Lu Ye.

Chu Li turned to look at Xia He, slightly stunned: "Xia He?"

Xia He nodded: "It's me. Long time no see, how have you been, fellow Daoist!"

These two seemed to know each other.

Chu Li sighed: "Fellow Daoist, don't make things difficult for me. I am stationed here by order of the island master. This section of the defense line must not be lost no matter what."

Xia He smiled bitterly: "I understand." She had also participated in the defense of the island, and if she were in Chu Li's position, she would make the same choice.

"Please leave quickly, you two!" Chu Li waved his hand, seemingly unfeeling, but his eyebrows were full of pain.

It was not easy for Chu Li to see his own people so close in front of him, yet he could not provide any help, but instead had to force them to leave.

Because he knew that being unable to enter the island meant bad luck.

But he was ultimately afraid to take the risk.

"Let's go!" Xia He tugged on Lu Ye's sleeve.

Lu Ye shook his head: "It's too late!" Immediately, he turned around and pressed his hand on the Panshan Blade.

Although he and Xia He had rushed out of the blood river and only exchanged a few words with Chu Li, there were strong enemies everywhere in this blood river, and their whereabouts had long been exposed.

When in the blood river, Lu Ye could still use the Blood Clan's secret technique to conceal his figure and disguise his aura, but when he was outside the blood river, he couldn't do such a thing.

Almost at the same time as Lu Ye turned around, several figures suddenly rushed out of the blood river. The leading insect clan member flapped his wings behind his back, grinning hideously: "Are you two little things lost?"

Before he finished speaking, he had already killed Lu Ye, and the Daoist soldier in his hand slammed down.

Following closely behind this insect clan member, several other figures attacked from different directions.

Xia He shouted嬌, and shook the long sword in her hand, meeting one of the enemies. Under the barely collision, her mind was shocked, only because the enemy's strength was very strong, and was not inferior to her at all.

She knew that this was troublesome. If she couldn't enter the island and her whereabouts were exposed, she was afraid that she would really die here today.

As soon as the thought in her mind turned, she suddenly felt that vitality was annihilated.

She looked back in surprise, only to see that in front of Lu Ye, the head of the insect clan that had rushed over aggressively flew out. Under the continuous light of the long knife in Lu Ye's hand, the enemies who rushed to him were all cut off.

Fresh blood splattered and the wreckage was scattered.

In just a moment, several enemies who came were all killed.

Xia He's mind was greatly shaken.

Although she had seen some of Lu Ye's demeanor before and knew that his strength was very strong, but at this moment, Lu Ye's strength seemed to be above her expectations.

The blood river was surging, and more enemies were killed, but they were attracted by the movement of the fight here.

Xia He couldn't be distracted anymore. Her opponent's own strength was not inferior at all, and she could only fight to a tie with all her strength. How could she have time to take care of others.

In the fierce battle, screams came from all around, and each scream was accompanied by the annihilation of a vitality.

Xia He really couldn't imagine what the situation was on Lu Ye's side. Were his opponents all vulnerable? However, after only a moment, she was shocked to come back to her senses, because since the battle, except for the first enemy, no one had come to disturb her.

She thought she was lucky, until she caught a glimpse of a knife light killing an enemy who wanted to besiege her, and then she suddenly realized that the reason why she only needed to deal with one enemy was not because she was lucky, but because Lu Ye was bearing all the remaining pressure.

How strong is this person...?

At this time, inside the defensive formation, Chu Li and many cultivators were also looking at Lu Ye standing outside the island with shocked faces.

Xia He didn't have time to be distracted and didn't see the situation on Lu Ye's side, but they saw it clearly.

Just a few dozen feet away from them, there was a clan member, alone with a knife, standing alone, but like a ten thousand year old rock, the surging enemies hit this rock like water, except for splashing some water, they couldn't shake it at all.

Every time the long knife fell, an enemy would die on the spot.

No one had ever seen such a neat killing scene, and they were all lost in it for a while.
